Prior to this, Benjamin held key leadership roles that demanded precision, resilience, and high-impact execution.

Under his leadership, throughput improved by 25%, OSHA incident rates dropped by over 75%, and customer satisfaction reached an impressive 98.7%. His success stemmed not only from operational efficiencies but from aligning safety programs and logistics strategies with broader organizational goals.
At TJX Companies, Benjamin was tapped to lead the expedited launch of a brand-new, 1.7 million sq. ft. automated distribution center for TJMaxx. His team hit full capacity—handling $125M in P&L, over 1,000 employees, and 4 million weekly units—two years ahead of schedule. He also spearheaded the rapid creation of a dedicated jewelry processing center, assembling equipment, staff, and process flows within just 45 days. Beyond operational metrics, Benjamin made a lasting cultural impact, participating on national TJX distribution board committees to drive engagement and safety across 12 facilities.
His decade-long tenure at H-E-B epitomized end-to-end supply chain mastery. Benjamin rose through the ranks to ultimately manage $220M in P&L and a staff of 1,300 across 1 million sq. ft. of automated space. He scaled operations, improved retention from 30% to 61%, and introduced lean practices that eliminated the need for external warehouse storage, saving millions. His leadership fueled the company’s expansion from $25B to $32B in revenue during his time there.
Earlier in his career, Benjamin refined his operational backbone at Exel Logistics, where he oversaw warehousing for Procter & Gamble brands, and at Roundys Food, managing logistics operations in a 150,000 sq. ft. dry grocery facility.
